written with Visual Basic?

My language of choice for that tool would be C#, and the part that
calls L3P could easily be put into an external assembly (i.e. a DLL).

Why not learn POV-Ray?  If you know VB or C# or any language for that
matter, POV-Ray is really simple compared to them (much less syntax
to learn).

I'm creating a new LDraw POV-Ray video tutorial that I hope to get
online today or sometime this week.  I really hope you guys watch it
because this stuff is so simple in POV-Ray once you learn how, and it
is so much easier and more powerful than writing separate apps.  And
POV-Ray code is cross-platform but VB and C# are not.
